How did it all ended up like this. Does work really affect people so much to make them change so drastically? Or is it just a convenient excuse. I really wouldn’t know.. but with a steady income comes spending power. In this euphoria, I guess there is a tendency for people to forget those who made it possible for them to get to where they are right now.

Its human nature to look for a comfort zone when they’re down. To look for someone to pull them and fix them up good again. Once they’re all fixed up and feeling better, they have no need for that someone any more. Once they get back on their feet, they will only start looking forward, and not back to those who made it possible for them. Its unlikely people will admit this and hence, work is a convenient excuse.

I myself have not started working but hopefully, I will not be like this and remember all those who helped me get to where I will be. What goes around, comes around.

If we could see tomorrow
What are your plans
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride
they’re back in demand
I was the one who’s washing
blood off your hands

I know the things you wanted
they’re not what you have
With all the people talkin’ it’s drivin’ you mad
If I was standing by you how would you feel
Knowing your love’s decided
and all love is real

I thought I could live in your world
as years all went by
With all the voices I’ve heard
something has died
And when you’re in need of someone
my heart won’t deny you
So many seem so lonely
with no one left to cry to baby

I’ve been reading quite a bit recently trying to find a cheap nokia phone to replace my lost phone. I definately do not want to go back to the era of black and white screen. I would want something with at least a colored screen. It has to be a nokia too cos I’m so used to the nokia GUI.

The phone currently I’m using is a LG and its definately a girl’s phone. A clam shell phone, it makes cute sound when u open it up or when u press any buttons. Muahaha and its orange too. ANyway, I dun like the GUI. Its got gd functions but I just need an easy to use phone.

Finally decided on the nokia 2600. Its the cheapest colored phone offered by Vodafone. Going for 129, with a new sim card with $30 credit, that would make the phone only 99 bucks. Great I thought. Its quite a recent model no doubt it being a low end one. Walked all over to find this phone but seems that everywhere was sold out. Grrrr… SO tired walking..

Went to 2 vodafone shops in the city and they said its sold out. Went to 2 Dicksmith shops and sold out too. Went to 3 Post shops and all out as well. Aarrrrgghhhhh… Only 1 Post shop left that I haven’t asked cos its so crowded. Finally went and ask them at 5.15. 15 minutes before they close and yes, they have a few sets left. Paid the money and now I’m home.

Well, for 99 bucks, phone is pretty gd. But so many features absent. Sigh… first time I’m downgrading my phone. From a 6100 —> 2600. No infra red port, no MMS, no tri band network, bigger and heavier, no java games, no wap or gprs and lastly, the interface is similar to the nokia 3310, which I absolutely dun like. No call button. Only one button for all the functions. Simplistic but irritating to use at times. I prefer it to have a dedicated call and end button . On the positive side, the phone has more memory, has a nicer GUI ( nice icons and colors ) and the phone looks gd. Sigh… trasfering my phone book is gonna be tough now with no infra red port but what to do? It is after all a cheapo phone. At least it has a color screen. I want my 6100 back , or at least gimme an upgrade. Cant really afford it now but thank god I can at least afford this phone.

Yest Night, I almost bricked my router too with a bad firmware flash. Darn.. I was trying to revive it for more than an hour before it became functional again. Phew… luckily it came back to life, else I would have a $100 brick with me. On the bright side, I did manage to get the Alchemy firmware up and this firware kicks ass. It adds tons of functions available only in higher end routers which cost in access of $400. One thing I really like is how it managed to increase the transmitting strength of the router from the default 28 milli watt —-> 251 milli watt. Wooooo…. Hehehe to play it safe, I only upped it to 85 milli watt. Great signal strength now with this router. Yeah..

Late in the night, a knock on my door. A familar face and yet such a surprise, you’re a sight for sore eyes. Great company is hard to find these days. Thx for being there. Pizza was great but the company was better Sorry if I’m the cause of you not sleeping well. My room is cleaner now too should you wanna drop by again. You know you’re always welcome here. I won’t turn you away…

Today was quite a long day for me. Woke up early to go to the bank and apply for my credit cards. Yes.. hehehe not debit card but credit card. Muahahaha… Took bout 10 mins for te entire process but will not know till 1-2 weeks later if my application is successful. I hope it is Went for lecture after that and met up with a few friends there. I got 90% for one of my assignment

Met up with Erl after that and went shopping. Hahaha she wasn’t really feeling very happy and decided she needed some retail therapy to cheer her up. She bought this pants and long sleeve blouse yest and today, another singlet and a sweater. I got influenced too and bought for myself 2 long sleeves t shirt. Winter is coming soon you see. She was shopping for perfume too and I ended up being the tester. Same with last year when I was the tester for her make up. lol.. Walked out of the perfume shop with a myriad of perfume smells. Muahahaha…

I finally got my phone too. SOrt of.. Belongs to gina actually and am borrowing it for the time being till I can get my own phone. Erl also wanted to give me her phone but I feel bad taking it. Thx for the gesture babe. Went to vodafone and they gave me a new sim card and even rolled over my unused credits. All for free. Met up with Dian and her friends and after walking around in Myers for a while, erl and myself went to meet Gina and Yenying for dinner.

Gina thinks that Erl is so tiny and that Erl needed someone to protect her. Lol.. while Erl thinks that Gina is so sweet. Hehehehe… Gina was playing with her food again as usual, making heart shape out of her unfinished rice.

Went home after that and now, its raining. So cold.. brrr….

Asked a question only to be replied with sarcasm. Tried to break up the ice by showing you something only to be treated with hostility and disdain. What do you want then? You’re not the only one who has had a long tiring day. I’ve had mine too but did I treat you like this?

Am still phoneless. Damn.. I feel so lost. Phone still ringing now but nowhere to be found. Am gonna get a new sim card tom and use Gina’s extra phone till I can find a permanent replacement to my Nokia 6100. It has been a great phone and I’m now having lots of difficulty finding a suitable replacement. Rest well my friend. You will be missed….

Yesterday was fun. Went to fetch Erlina at the airport early in the morning. Met Joachim at 4.30 am and walked to spencer street station, where we took the 5am sky bus shuttle service to the airport. First time I ever see so many people in the bus.

Reached there at bout 5.23 and Jay was alread there. Erlina came out a few minutes later. Hehehe we were just on time. She touched down at 4.45 and only walked out at 5.30. Gave her a big hug and helped her with her bags. Sure was nice seeing her again. Took a cab down to Jay’s place after that where she left all her things. Joachim dropped along the way, at his appartment. After having a short chat with Erl at Jay’s place, I walked home to rest.

Woke up at bout 1.30 and at 2pm, she knocked on my door. Ahahhaa surprise.. She was supposed to call first but did not. Hahaha let her in and I went to bathe. Then it was off for lunch. Met up with Dian, Erl’s friend and had a great lunch. We took a tram down to the botanical gardens after that and just went for a stroll.

Dian climbed up a tree to pose for pictures but couldn’t get down after that. Muahaha so cute. I had to let her step on my shoulder and carry her down. Ended up with her sitting on my shoulder. Managed to get a photo of me in that pose.

Met up with Dian’s friends after that. By then, it was already 6. We sat down at link contro to chat but me and Erl didn’t really feel comfortable. Dian’s friend was telling us bout the poor cat and me and Erl felt so sad by it . Sigh…. They left to went to crowns after that but me and Erl didn;t wanna go so we walked over to Carlton park.

Night was beautiful. Weather was great. Full moon, lovely breeze, great company. I couldn’t ask for more. We didn’t really chat much but it sure was great to have someone I’m so comfortable with beside me. Walked her home after that. Day has been great but tiring. Heheh I got my toys too

By the way people, I’m still phoneless. Considering I’ve even had autoroam subscribed since 1999, cos I wanna be connected everywhere I go, I feel lost now after 2 days without the phone. Damn that person who took my phone.
